brated everywhere, though in some
places rain interfered with the cere~
monials to some extent. The ap-
pearance in line of veterans of the
greatest war OF modern times will al
ways excite public interest, especially
with the youth of the country who
delight to participate in the beautiful
custom OF decorating the graves OF
the dead and in doing honor to the
survivors OF the bloody contest for
the preservation of the Union. Ora
tory, however, seems to be on the de-
cline at present, from the difficulty of
saying anything new, or avoiding q
repetition OF what has been said by
tens OF thousands before. Great gen.
ius, originality, and eloquence are re-
quisites at this late day and even
these are scarcely equal to the task Of
an acceptable Fourth of July grafton
for the simple reason that nothing
can be said that has not been better
said for memorial efforts.

It is remarkable how small g. popu-
iation OF uncivilized Indians occupies
vast areas of land. The Osages, num-
bering 1900. have g. reservation of
100000 acres. The Iowas, num-
bering "a, hold 22s,4l8 acres; 24O
Kickapoos hold 2O6,466 acres; So
Quawpaws $4,000 acres, SO Eastern
Shawnees $4,000 acres and 225
Kansas Indians 100000 acres. The
entire Indian Territory, containing
over A, 600, 900 acres, has popu.
lation OF only 10000. Out of this
condition of affairs grows the demand
Tor the opening of the territory to set
Element. The difficulty lies in tho fact
that the treaties of the government
with the Indians guarantee to them
the possession of their lands and this
guarantee has been held sacred. It is
now proposed to give each Indian
family large farm and open the rest
of their reservations to settlement.
This would give about 100000
acres to civilization. 1t remains to
be seen whether the Indians will ac-
cept an arrangement OF this kind.

HEARTLESS CRUELTY

il is to delude poor sufferer into the
belief that some worthless liniment will
cure rheumatism and neuralgia. Honesty
is the best policy in the manufacture oi
proprietary articles as in all other matters,
and the fact that the proprietors of Athlo-
phoros have never claimed for it even all
its merit would warrant has not little to
do with its wonderful popularity, and the
thousands of grateful testimonials received
bv them show that their policy has been
wise as well as right.
Experience has amply demonstrated
that mere outward applications are worth
less. The disease has its seat in the blood,
and any remedy TO be successful must deal
with the obstructive acid which poisons
and infames it.
Athlophoros acts on the blood, muscles
and Joints directly. 1t takes the poison
out Of the blood and carries il out OF the
system; il invigoraies the action OF the
muscles and limbers the stiffness Of the
Joints. 1t reaches the liver and kidneys,
cleansing them from irritating substances,
and. if followed up after the rheumatic
conditions cease it will restore these organs
TO regularity and health.
Patrick Eagan, clerk for Sayres d Co,
Wilmington, Ohio, saws: 81 was laid uP
with rheumatism for four weeks. 1t would
